For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by

human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

• These false teachers’ reasoning was not spiritual at all, but very much the thinking of a natural man.
